Welcome to the reveal of the 6th Bead Soup Blog Party. My partner Nat http://www.grubbi.co.uk sent me a lovely Soup to work with. Unfortunately the Soup I sent her got mangled in the post so she has only has a few things to work with. As you can see I spent a lovely time creating.
I added quite a few things of my stash and as always I found it quite hard to know when to stop!

The two large flowers on the necklace and bag are creations I made at a class given by the wonderful Jill Flower. Check her out on http://www.jillflower.com/ I spent a fantastic day there as a birthday treat, she is soo creative.
My job finishes in September and then I would like to spend more time creating. Come over to my new Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/aroomforchange and like me to see more in the future.
A big thank you to Lori. As ever you are fabulously wonderful!!! and to Nat for the ingredients of the Soup.

Have a look what the other participants created with their soups.

My partner has only just received my parcel and most of the contents was missing and mangled. I sent her a lovely vintage soup and I am soo dissappointed she did not get to use it. Unfortunately I did not photograph the soup I sent her. I had waited to post mine until she received my soup. This is what I received from her and I love the colours. You have to wait until the 25th of August to find out what I have made with it.

Once again you have done yourself proud!!! The project was to make essential oil reed diffusers and they look wonderful. We filled them with patchouli and sandalwood or Freesia and Jasmine.At the end of the evening it was smelling lovely in Edna's house! And if I find the photographs of the previous project I promise to post those as well. They are somewhere on the computer......I will find them one day.

About Me

Welcome to the Room for Change Blog!
I am a textile designer who loves auctions, rummaging through car boot sales, second-hand shops and being creative.
Anything old and broken, or vintage that has outlived its usefulness, I can mend and transform into pieces that are usable again.
I make an eclectic mix of colourful sometimes vintage bazaar style pieces that are sometimes slightly kitsch, sometimes romantic and shabby chic but always visually stimulating and fun to wear or to have in your house.
I creatively up-cycle, making new products of better quality and wherever possible I use recycled materials. Useless bits and bobs can be converted into higher value items that can be useful for a long time.
In this blog I will chronicle the creations I make and sell on the website. Grab a cup of tea and I hope I can inspire you.
Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. (as George Bernhard Shaw said) because in all of us and the world around us there is room for change.
